![]() ![]() I'd have to admit, the greyhole was a bit confusing at first, but LVM over RAID any day. Try to keep your OS away and isolated in a different drive / mount point. I had to do a bit of reading to understand how the Amahi worked, but once I knew how to add drives to the pool, and then from there make sure they only had one file redundancy, it was smooth sailing. The Amahi app Jinzora said that it could do that, but it was never able to stream any of my movies, no matter what format the files were (mp4, wmv, avi, mov). One of my main purposes of using an Amahi server was so I could stream my movies remotely and I never could. I even tried mounting the shares locally and transferring the files via USB hard drives, but that failed too. Now the SSD never filled up, but the transfers still failed. I wiped the system and partitioned the drives on the clean install following these directions. Every time I tried transferring the files over the network, the 32 GB SSD would fill up and the transfers to the 4 TB of space would fail. After mounting the two drives, I added them to the Greyhole shares. I had to learn how to edit the fstab file and mount the drives myself, which I did and am now grateful for knowing. I followed the directions on how to add a second hard drive, but they didn't work. It ran great when I had one hard drive, but when I bought an SSD and two 2 TB drives I ran into trouble. I was initially very excited about the Fedora based home server, but ran into many problems. For some time now, I have been running an Amahi Home Server on one of the desktops that I built. ![]()
